What did the cut look like? That could explain the "technical difficulties" screen. If they lost the program source then that screen probably auto-fires so that the viewer doesn't see a black screen.

Would be fun to read their Emails between the execs at both companies like those that were put out when the whole Tribune fiasco happened. These programmers are simply worried that their cash cow will eventually run out as more people use alternative means to watch their shows via the Internet...

CanuckInNY, I'll venture outside tomorrow to see! My 84E can't see 91/82 at the sametime so I will optimize it for 91 with 0 skew. I'll report back my findings once I check it out.

New Brunswick, NJ here. I posted my signal levels from 91 from 2am today and just now at 7:30pm. I am on a 84E ChannelMaster. Going to tweak alignment and will report any improvement. (since some say you can't get 82 on this as well, some suggested putting skew to 0 and aiming just for one bird)...

I need to try repointing, but this is weird: using a new DPP LNB w/ separator at the receiver. Transponder 27 on 91 Tuner 1, says not locked. After about 5 to 10 seconds it shows signal of 84. If you toggle to Tuner 2, it "flutters" and then stays at 0. I'm hoping it's just a pointing issue...

Nimiq 6 Impact? Error 004 From the reports here, it seems that Nimiq 6 is partially active. I am missing signal on some transponders on 91, but another new issue is occuring. On channels 508 (HLN) and 579 (BPM) so far, instead of seeing a satellite signal error, I am getting error 004 (To...

I've had similar problems. Back in the late winter, I tried setting up the 84E on 91 & 82, but could never see both at once. I spent hours outside playing with the adjustments, but still couldn't lock signal to 91 & 82 at the same time. Was anyone successful in using a 84E to lock both birds? On...

I never completed my setup for the 84E dish, I'll save that for the other thread! Right now, in NJ, I have the ChannelMaster 84E only receiving 91. As the posts above, I am missing tp 3, 5, 9, and 11. Oddly, the 17,18,27,28 come in. On Monday morning, I had 40s on tp 27, but today it has 83...

I hooked up the dish, 84E, on a pole in a different location in my yard that has a clear LOS to 82/91. My question is, how should I set the skew/elevation? With the Dish500 on the side of the house, the settings now are 115 skew & elevation at 50. A dish pointing website shows that I should be...

Thanks Iceberg! I have a DPP LNB, with a separator before the receiver. I have to find a good spot to install the 84E, I can't mount it on the side of the house where the Dish500 is now. I played with it today in the backyard on an old pole I had for DTV, but there were trees in the way. (It...

I am curious if anyone has feedback, and if a larger dish (I am considering the ChannelMaster 84E) would resolve this issue. I am in the New York Metro area. I have a Dish500 with a DPP LNB. Nimiq 91 has strong signal ranging from 80 to 100. However, I have weak signal on Nimiq 82, due to their...

Update to my post, I let the receiver sit with the blinking light and black screen for about 6 hours. It magically came back to life with the screensaver screen showing. The box is working fine again.

I have a HD PVR, 9241. I was receiving the dreaded error 311 the other night where it would prompt to unplug and replug the receiver in after 1 minute. I decided to do a quick hard drive diagnostics on it. The result said "NO_HARD_DRIVE_FOUND" and then I rebooted the receiver by holding down the...

I just wanted to report an issue with the CE from 12/16. It works fine on my HD-DVRs with zero issues, however, the version on my H21-200 causes issues after having it installed for 2 days. When you turn the receiver off and turn it on, it says "searching for satellite signal". The only way to...
